IUBMB Comments

The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Escherichia coli, catalyses three hydroxylation reactions in the oxygen-independent pathway for ubiquinone (UQ) biosynthesis. The reaction involves an electron acceptor whose identity remains unknown as of 2024. The Escherichia coli enzyme is a heterodimer, with both subunits containing a [4Fe-4S] cluster that is essential for activity and may serve as part of an electron transfer chain from the substrate to the unidentified electron acceptor.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Escherichia coli
